Grading the cougars: C

Sun., Nov. 9, 2008

Lopina sparked drives with his feet, but his two interceptions hurt.

There were a few big runs; one each from Mitz and Tardy. Fumbled reverse may have cost a score.

Fewer drops than last week, but there was little in the way of yards after catch.

A couple of key penalties, three sacks and only 94 yards rushing.

They did a good job often at the point of attack but wore down in second quarter.

Allowed too many yards on cutbacks after line had walled off a side. Missed too many tackles.

A big interception and decent tackling. Totaled 41 tackles.

Punt team, kickoff coverage team, kickoff-return team all shined. Best game of year.

With hands tied by injuries, schemes gave Cougars a chance on both sides of ball.
